...This week’s lab dealt with the application of encryption and hashing algorithms to a test file on the Linux operating system. I chose this lab over the other lab option because I find this topic of particular interest and something that I can apply in my day to day duties at my current employer. I also enjoy working with the Linux operating system because I have always found it to be more challenging than Windows which I deal with daily. I had no trouble launching the virtual environment and accessing the Linux virtual machine. The lab used a text editing program called gedit which I am also familiar with and is similar to the notepad application sound withing Windows. The gedit application is launched by using the terminal window within the operating system which is a command line tool....

...run across a situation whether it’s big or small that makes you think or reflect on your life. Sometimes they leave an impression on you, and make you see things in a different way. It could be something that is dramatic or even simple, but it will change you in some way. I had an experience like this on my service learning project. I had the opportunity to look over some files while I was doing work for the probation office. I was putting papers into files, and filing them into the filing cabinet for my job of the day. The files included all the probationers’ personal information and information about their cases. The judgments that were laid out for them were needed, but time consuming. They have so many responsibilities to complete while on probation. As I was going through the files, I realized that I never want to ever get in this kind of trouble. During my service learning incident, my supervisor would talk to me about his job and the things that go along with it. One day I was going through the files, and we began to talk. I was talking about how I couldn’t believe all the things that people on probation had to do. They have to report, take pee tests, take classes, and pay fines. I have to admit that I was feeling kind of sorry for them. Then the supervisor said, “You shouldn’t feel sorry for them because they choose the road that they took.” I know that it may seem crazy, but his statement had me thinking for the rest of the day. The more that...

...net realizable value of inventories on hand as of December 31,2007 using IDEA. The assertions tested in evaluating the net realizable value of inventory include the following, valuation, rights & obligations, completeness and existence. But, due to the limited amount of information provided by the client, only the valuation assertion will be tested using IDEA. When testing the NRV of inventory, first one should obtain the following files from the client, the inventory final 2007, Sales 2007, Sales 2008, and the Sale pricing master file 2007. It is imperative to obtain these files so that one can match certain files to each other and extract data. The next step is to review unique and unusual items in the different source files. For example, its is crucial for one to understand the data being tested before importing it into IDEA. Therefore, in order to understand the data one should scan and review the files for unusual items. Then one should analyze the source files and compute the net realizable value in IDEA. Once the various source files have been matched, the following question should be considered, are there items with no recent sales?, are there items with quantities in excess of sales activities?, are there items that were sold doing the period at a loss?, and are there items that were sold subsequent to the period end at a loss?. During the audit one objective was for one to determine those items with no recent sales in order to determine if those items have gone...

...Talks Education How to escape educations death valley [Video File] Retrieved from http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley#t-782486 Ken Robinson is an author, speaker and international advisor on education. He emphasized on importance of education and how it is that we are to change the way we are teaching in America. He mentions that while the standardized testing is ok, we should however expand on the notion with state testing and expand within the arts. He mentions that 60% of children drop out of school before they get into high school. He also states the No Child Left Behind act is based not on diversity but conformity. He compared Finland to each state within the America. Finland does not use any standardized testing; yet they are consistently above average. The difference with Finland and any state in America can be summed up by 3 things. 1) America in general or state level does not individualize teaching and learning. 2) America in general or state level does not invest in the teacher. He states that America spends more money on Education compared to other countries. 3) Responsibility should be at school level where as within the America in general or state level; government plays a role. You take the government out and give the controls back to educators, odds are schools will perform. I think his speech will help me support the claim that teaching to a test is doing more harm to the...

...Case Study Analysis Paper Melissa Coy COMM/215 Feb 15th, 2015 Beverly Raznoff * The key problems for this case study are as follows: Carl’s paperwork and files for his new hires aren’t complete. Also, the training room has already been scheduled for the whole month of June by another employee. Carl as many issues that need to be remedied such as incomplete employee files, missing paperwork, and the orientation room being double booked. Background Carl has started a new recruitment of trainees for his Operations Supervisor, Monica. In May he was contacted about the paperwork and to see if everything would be scheduled in time for his orientation in June. He assured her that everything would be completed in time. To his dismay a few weeks before his orientation he discovered that that some of the new trainees didn’t have applications or transcripts in their files. The new hires hadn’t been sent to the clinic for their drug tests either. He also found out that another employee, Joe, had scheduled the training room for a computer training seminar for the whole month of June. If Carl wants to get his orientation on schedule and completed he needs to find a way to get his paperwork finished on time and find a place to conduct the training. Alternatives Possible alternatives for Carl’s situation could be: 1. Push the start date for the orientation back to a later date. (Possible constraints: Monica was...

...equal access to education for all. The proposed regulation would affect me both positively and negatively because it is a regulation that might help reduce my student debt loan at the end of my school days but at the same time, it would cut funding to thousands of job training program I might need to increase my employability and future earnings down the line. 2. The proposed regulation is meant to define the “gainful employment” requirement for federal student aid. The Department of Education is concerned that students enrolling in some school programs especially in for profit schools (e.g. Devry University), usually find themselves unemployable in those anticipated career fields and burdened with large student loan debts at the end, with no job to pay for it. With that in mind, the department of education proposed the regulation to make sure that students who are enrolled in any gainful employment programs must be guaranteed that those programs provide value, and debt load accumulated thought the enrollment of those programs must be convenient in the lights of wages students can logically expect. Under the proposal, a program would have to pass two tests or have a high repayment rate to be eligible for federal loan/aid: * Test based on debt to Income ratio * Test based on repayment rates Under the test based on debt to income ratio,...

...RECORDS AND ‘RECORDNESS’ INTRODUCTION The purpose of this assignment is twofold. To test understanding and to demonstrate that the overall quality of my chosen sample is based on a reasoned and unbiased evaluation. I will describe my sample, highlight its ‘recordness’ against the internationally recognised standard and underline its key criteria. In so doing my aim is to make an objective comparison and simultaneously corroborate my understanding of the essence of what makes a record. First, some background. Surprisingly, despite the fact that records has been a kept by us for thousands of years it was not until relatively recently (2001) that an internationally accepted records management standard, known as ISO 15489 set out a standard definition of a record. Accordingly, a record as set out in ISO 15489, is defined as “information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business.” Against this definition I have chosen a record that I refer to regularly at work to test its ‘recordness’. My sample is the Foreign Office's (FCO) Archive Inventory of its paper Inventory. The FCO’s paper file inventory consists of data from both the 2013 and 2014 record audits and is a full inventory of its archive holdings and is an accurate record of the FCO corporate business activities by the various departments of the organisation and provides information of the records...

...University in the first place. It was a peculiar and challenging choice for an international student as most of my international friends went with business administration. I did not like business because of two reasons. First of all, I was not interested in dealing with numbers, money in particular; secondly, at that time on, if someone asked me to describe the defining characteristic of businesspeople with one word, venality would be the first that came into my mind. In my opinion, I thought that business people do not and should not care about anything other than maximizing profit; otherwise they are not good business people. But now, especially after I encouraged myself to take some business courses at school (Business Ethics in particular), I am embarrassed to have to admit this because I realized that I was totally ignorant and biased to have such negative impressions on all the business people. According to Chimamanda Adichie’s words, I have been “reading a single story”. (Adichie, 2009) I found Adichie’s speech was a mind-blower to me. I have always considered myself to be more considerate and knowledgeable than others who are about my age and have similar amount of experience as I do. Even so, whenever people talk about Africa, poverty and epidemic of certain diseases always come into my mind first. I even tried to rationalize my opinion by searching for data from my limited book selections, which I realized later that I was merely using particular cases to generalize the...

I was to essentially consolidate a list of potential health plans identified and informed of the insurance claims submission process, when they were contacted, their contact information, when to follow up, and if the health plan fell under the legislative number of covered lives requirements. Results In order to accomplish this objective I worked on developing appendix C and appendix D. I continued to report my findings to the APCD Program Manager and seek guidance for any setbacks in my outreach process. The obstacles I encountered were due to the lack of communication from contacted health plans and the scarcity of information on...
